You did an excellent write up! I have the DP-SM drive but I believe it’s similar to your setup based on your pictures. Still searching to confirm the part number.
Hey all, I just pulled out of the lake to find I’ve sprung a pin hole leak in one of my hydraulic lines for my trim. I have a 2001 Crownline 225br with the 5.7GXI and VP out drive. Can I replace this hose without removing the lower unit? What’s an average shop cost for this repair?
I believe I finally found the part number. It appears to be 3855194 for the GXI-B. The majority of the other 5.7s take the 3843750, but not the B. Local Napa store has it for $125 and it looks identical, which is more than the 3843750 had.

Hello! My 2001 Crownline with 5.7 GXI fuel injected recently began having a slightly elevated idle after warm up. It’s intermittent and usually returns to normal idle after cycling off for a bit while we swim. I’m trying to replace the IAC but am having an awful time finding the GM replacement...
